Here's what I wrote in my comments on this spec during the may 2011
LC vote:

   "Implementing myself a content editor for html5 (both
    serializations), I am still uncertain about the usefulness of this
    document, in other terms I doubt implementors will refer to this
    document and really implement tools conformant to it. I think then
    this document should leave the REC track and become a Note."

Of course, I never got an answer.

More than a year later, I still don't know why we have that document
on the REC track. It's still useless to me as an editor vendor.
I then support entirely Lachlan's objection here.
